History
Early Years
Edward was born a single child to an upper middle class renatian family during the reign of Aurelius. Due to his education as a noble, he was drafted to become the ward of an unnamed bureaucrat, who led him into the path of writing and law philosophy. When he had come of age, Edward had developed his mind and passions enough to venture out into the world on his own, and so he readied himself to serve under nobility upon his entrance into the newly built capital city of Carolustadt.
Gaining Prominence
Edward’s first position within Carolustadt was as a scribe to Alexander Frederick Horen, who had then been known as an excellent scribe and Lord Speaker of Parliament. Under Alexander, he had immediately begun working on a small project of his own, which consisted of religious legislation and the control of the church. Its release was flamed with bad reviews and hostilities, though it only granted him more experience for what was to come.
His second position was as scribe to the mayor Obediah of Carolustadt. This led him to meet the Imperial Prince Cassius Horen, who he wrote a poem for, and thus was hired quickly to aid Cassius in his scriptures.
Lord Speaker of Parliament
Cassius offered Edward a platform for more of his planned reform, which he wasted no time in taking advantage of by writing the creation of three ministries within government. This would give him the reputation he required to be appointed Lord Speaker of Parliament immediately following Alexander Frederick’s abdication from most Imperial inquiries. He was a swell speaker, whose subjects glorified him as a level-headed and humble man of great morality.
His role as Lord Speaker did not last long however… Within just a few years of his service, Edward was approached by the new emperor, Augustus I, who offered him the illustrious role of Archchancellor of the Empire.
Archchancellor of the Empire of Man
As Archchancellor, Edward established his own political party to entertain the traditions of ancestral humanity, titling it 'The Imperial Preservation Party'. It became vastly popular within just a few days of it becoming public, growing to be one of the largest political parties in the Empire, as well as Parliament.
His time as Archchancellor is ongoing, and certainly will be prosperous in it's future.

Personal Life
Edward was a man who cherished his family greatly. He met his wife Caroline through mutual friendships, and created their relationship purely by his good will and charitability, never through titles or feigned emotion. They married later in life but were able to appreciate their children with all the love they could due to it, instead of worrying for themselves. Edward appreciated people who could set aside the greed of men in order to better the society around them, and thus he was inspired to do the same. He never bragged nor emphasized his wealth beyond what was true, truly seeing the empire’s prosperity as the real riches he should strive for.
